XVII. Zhaoyang Festival Envoy (1)
Rong Lu gestured to his little servant, who nodded, squeezed through the crowd, and walked towards the Chinese medicine shop, and after a while, he ran back, "It's the female dependent of Gonggong An's mansion." β
"Ladies and daughters?" Rong Lu said, "Why does it look so familiar? β
He also wanted to go to Zeng Guofan's house to visit, and he didn't want to do much for a while, and then he didn't think much about it, but secretly wrote down the name of this shop, and the group walked slowly towards the front, passing by a theater, and the water sign said "Mu Guiying Breaking the Heavenly Gate Array", "Yanmen Pass", "White Snake Legend. Although Rong Lu doesn't like to watch these three plays, he also knows that these three plays are the favorite of the masters in the inner court, so he personally deleted and subscribed to them.
Seeing his master's stay, the little maid explained: "The Empress Dowager Xiao of Yanmen Pass here is played by Mei Qiaoling, and the Empress Dowager of the West personally praised him for playing well, and deliberately resigned from a court dress, and ordered Mei Qiaoling to wear court clothes whenever she sang this play, which is the only one in Sijiu City!" Do you want to come and see later? β
"Well, let's come back when we have time." Rong Lu shook his head and said indifferently.
The street is full of Western carriages, people like Rong Lu who ride horses, but there are not many people, and then there is nothing to say all the way, Rong Lu arrived at Zeng Guofan's mansion, which is close to the location of Shichahai, which is allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Zeng Guofan, if Zeng Guofan is dismissed in the future, this house will still be taken back.
There must have been a crowd of people in front of Zaifu's door, and the queue here had been lined up on the street, and the little guy leading the horses smacked his tongue: "There are so many of them." β
An idler passing by to watch the excitement heard that the little guy couldn't see the world so disdainfully, and said with disdain, "How much is it called here?" Brother, didn't you go to the door of Lord Sai's mansion to take a look, in front of his mansion, you can't even squeeze into the cracks. β
"Lord Sai is also the Minister of Military Aircraft. What's the difference there? The little guy retorted unhappily.
"It's right to be the same minister of military aircraft, but people's daughters are angry, and they are pregnant with a little prince in their stomachs!"
Rong Lu asked the little guy not to continue talking, "You go and hand me the notebook." β
The little guy took Rong Lu's notebook and walked towards the gate, and after a while, the door was wide open, and Yang Yuebin ran out. Seeing Rong Lu who turned over and dismounted, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhonghua is here." β
"Lord Admiral." Rong Lu smiled, "Why is this one also in Jingzhong?" When he came to Beijing, he didn't inform the younger brother, and he should be fined three glasses of wine. β
"I only entered Beijing yesterday to report on my work, and I know that Zhonghua's brother is in Fengtai all the time, or he is in the martial arts hall, and he is very busy," Yang Yuebin said with a smile, "So I don't dare to bother." Arrived at Dashuai first, if the elder brother wants to be the east, the foolish brother must arrive, and he will not return if he is not drunk. β
The two of them entered the Zeng Mansion hand in hand, and then the door closed tightly, and the people outside were extremely surprised, "Who is this lord?" Unexpectedly, Admiral Yang personally came out to greet him. You must know that we have been waiting here for several days, and no one has been able to enter the gate of Zeng Zhongtang! β
"You're clumsy. This is Lord Ronglu, and Wu Yundi is called the Manchurian double! β
Not to mention the amazement of outsiders. Yang Yuebin grabbed Wu Yundi in the verandah and chattered, "Brother Zhonghua, for the sake of my former comrades, next year's big competition, I have to take more care of my elder brother, I am in front of this Cullen Admiral." Yang Yuebin's face was full of helplessness, "If you can't get a fight, that's all, but what good soldiers can there be in this Mobei?!" β
"Aren't the knights of the Mobei Mongolian tribes the most powerful?" Wu Yundi said with a smile. "Lord Uncle's Korqin cavalry is estimated to be no match for you."
"Hehe, if it's about the knight elite, the king can't compare to my there, Horqin is close to the mouth, and he has long been degenerate, and when it comes to cavalry, it's better to be Mobei." Yang Yuebin praised himself, and then looked uncertain, "But my brother, I don't move!" β
Yang Yuebin complained, "Kulun, Uriya Sutai, and Kobdo have added commanders to the general army, which was originally newly established, and the vassal kings there have strictly regarded the soldiers in their hands as strict, and the people sent to me are all old men, of course, these people are also good at riding, but they are all bad old men in their forties and fifties, how can they be used?" Next year, the governors of various provinces will send troops to Beijing to compete in martial arts, and a group of old men and cavalry who are overwhelmed, doesn't this make me a joke! I can't be a commander anymore! The outsiders also said that there is no official in Mongolia who is a serious governor and governor, and I, the admiral, are there, but I am the emperor of the soil, I bah! Whoever wants to change, I will change with him! β
Rong Lu comforted, "There are many battles to counterbalance the rebellion in the country, and there are more generals who have military exploits, plus the military attachΓ©s who graduated from the martial arts hall, the original military attache is not enough, and it can't be the same as before, with the top of the general army, and still do the work of messengers, right?" This is also not in line with the system, in order for everyone to have a real shortage, so the center and the military department thought for a long time, and sent the Mongolian departments, as well as Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places, one by one, the commander-in-chief, the general, etc. β
"This initial creation is a bit harder, and it is not as good as the provinces of the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings," Rong Lu said with a smile, "But this is also a job that is easy to achieve, and Brother Yang is the most powerful person under the throne of Zeng Governor, if it weren't for you, who would dare to go to the Longtan Tiger's Den where the vassal kings of Kulun gathered?" If Brother Yang pulls up a cavalry in Kulun and shines in the competition, who would dare to underestimate you? β
Yang Yuebin desperately took Rong Lu's hand, "Listening to my brother's words is better than bowing my head and working for ten years, since the imperial court looks down on my brother so much, I will be cheeky to ask you, the representative of the imperial court, to ask for it, the Kulun Governor's Mansion is newly established, and there is a shortage of talents. β
"There is a fixed number of military attachΓ©s who have graduated from the martial arts hall in each province," Rong Lu smiled bitterly, "Except for those who stay in Fengtai, there are not a few in each province, and this year I know that Mongolia has not yet allocated a quota, if you really want it, please do it." β
Yang Yuebin jumped to his feet, he is a Miao person, and he has never been limited to any formal identity: "If you want to ask for an order, why should I still work for you, you and Wu Yundi are together as instructors in the lecture hall, don't ask you to ask, who else do you want?" I know, don't blame me, this martial arts hall, hehe, Jiang Shangshu can't interfere! β
This hasn't even arrived at Zeng Guofan's flower hall, Rong Lu is a little overwhelmed, "Since my brother said so, my brother doesn't dare not be ineffective, I asked the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and I will definitely give my brother an explanation, but if my brother is so deceitful to someone," Rong Lu smiled, "If there is any movement in Kulun in the future, if you can't contribute, you will be laughed at." β
"Movement?" Yang Yuebin's eyes widened, "Could it be?" (To be continued.) )
